A low power, inexpensive CPU might alow someone to make a small box, powered by a little black cube plugged into an AC outlet, that has only a couple of ethernet ports. Sounds like a small Linux-based router/firewall to protect me from my cable modem.
Add a hard disk and a couple of printer / USB / serial ports, and you have a very nice little server for my home.
